Gifted by the Deathlords with the corrupted Essences of Solar Exalts, the Abyssal Exalted are perhaps the greatest extant threat to Creation and its Exalted defenders. Frozen at the brink of death and offered immense power in exchange for servitude to the Neverborn, these so called knights of death ride forth with one shared mission, to drag the world and all that lives into the Void at their masters’ behest.

Will the Abyssals succeed at their abhorrent task, or will the faint echo of their lost lot as heroes drive them to redeem themselves and, just maybe, rejoin the ranks of the Sun’s Chosen?

Abyssals includes:

• Details of the Deathlords, their goals and their terrible powers• Everything players and Storytellers need to generate Abyssal Exalted characters, including their Charms• Rules for necrotech, an occult science dedicated to building wonders from the corpses of the dead

The Manual of Exalted Power: Abyssals is a supplement for Exalted Second Edition.

Note: The Black & White print editions of this book are not full-bleed. Because of printing requirements there is a small white border around the edge of the pages.

At first glance, the Abyssal Exalted seem pretty vile folk, spreading death and destruction wherever they go. However, there's a lot more to them than that, and if you are seeking a greater understanding of the Abyssals, are a Storyteller with a plot [...]

In terms of content, the Abyssals feels oddly incomplete. There are plenty of details on things such as the nature of the Neverborn and the events that led up to the creation of the Abyssals, but many mechanics seems missing. For example, handling renegad [...]

Like many of the other 2e books, the Abyssal book is a big step in the right direction. Doing far more to distinguish Abyssals from Solars, it also adds a great deal of depth to the latticework of espionage webs and loyalties that lie outside Creation. [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
